Dining Hall Artist Spotlight Program

The Dining Hall Artist Spotlight Program celebrates creativity by showcasing residential student artists in Local Point on a rotating basis. This program provides one lucky artist with a platform to share their work while enriching the dining experience for the campus community.

Artists are invited to submit their work for consideration, and community members can participate by voting for upcoming featured artists.
